I have a simple example form myForm.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Curling and Enjoying?</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="print.php" method="post">
<p>First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /></p>
<p>Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" /></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the a php script which handles the POST action by simply printing the values entered in the two inputs on the previous page, print.php
<?php
echo("First name: " . $_POST['firstname'] . "<br />
");
echo("Last name: " . $_POST['lastname'] . "<br />
");
?>
If possible, how can I use cURL to get a correct HTML response by submitting arguments to the server when posting data to the form
When I run the command:
$ curl -d "firstname=Ray&lastname;=Charles" http://mysiteurl.com/myForm.php
I get only the HTML from myForm.php
The submit target should be print.php but not myForm.php.
$ curl -d "firstname=Ray&lastname=Charles" http://mysiteurl.com/print.php
